Vanilla-Filled Chocolate Bars

1️⃣ 🍪 Make the Crust

1. Crush the cocoa shortbread cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor.
2. Melt the butter and honey together (microwave or stovetop), then stir in the cocoa powder and salt until smooth.
3. Pour over the cookie crumbs and mix until fully combined. Adjust texture by adding a spoonful of milk if too dry or more crumbs if too soft.

2️⃣ 🧱 Press & Chill

4. Line an 18×18 cm square or rectangular pan with parchment paper. Press half of the dough into the bottom firmly and evenly.
5. Freeze for 10 minutes while you prepare the vanilla filling.

3️⃣ 🥛 Cook the Vanilla Cream

6. In a saucepan, whisk together milk, sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla.
7. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until thickened (like pastry cream), 2–4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in butter.

4️⃣ 🧁 Make the Filling Creamy
